Enhancements for upgrading in multi-tenant environment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
Some muti-tenant installations use the same applications or rule instances with the same pzInsKeys for different tenants. This can cause upgrades to time out due to the system fetching all pzInsKeys (which will have duplicates) and working with them in a default batch size of 500 each over 4 threads. This led to the same keys potentially being allocated and processed in different threads, resulting in duplicate processing and timeouts. This has been resolved by updating the select query to fetch the tentantid and pzInskeys in the MT system to avoid duplicate work in multiple threads. In addition, running Generate Declarative indexes fetches the pzinskeys and generates indexes for each record, but before generating, the existing index for the record is deleted and then inserted. Because the delete query to generate the index was not tenant aware, all of the records for the key were deleted for the tenants for that key, but the new index was created only in one tenant. This has been resolved by enhancing the DELETE query to be tenant aware, which will avoid deleting the indexes for all the tenants given an index key.

Resolved buffer overflow for Migration loadDatabase
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
A Rules upgrade failed in the Migration step at loadDatabase stage, involving the move of all the table records from old schema to new schema. This was traced to the inability of Migration to load blob of sizes more than 100 MB, and has been resolved by updating Migration to use byte[] to read the blob content with the help of metadata that contains blob length.

TableRenameUtil hashing improved

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
An out of memory error was traced to SearchInventoryImpl infinitely recursing over a clipboard property, where the child property referenced a parent property and resulted in an endless loop. This has been resolved with the addition of a depth check to ensure that the search does not recurse infinitely.

Handling added for response command beginning with "call"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
There was an issue if a response command in a web chatbot channel started with the word "call". This was due to the storage and handling of the commands in the decision table. There was a workaround of avoiding the use of "call" to start a command, but the issue has been resolved by adding quotes around the decision table result to support this response command structure.

Resolved exception from isArchived
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After update, the message "ERROR - Could not retrieve the database time" was seen. This was traced to the interactions of the isArchived API with a version of Oracle, and has been resolved by adding code to skip the isArchived() API call if pzIsPegaCloud is set to false.

Added handling for legacy HTML formatting in Email Manager Bot
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When implementing Email Manager Bot features, pyBody fields were removing the additional spaces and causing the NLP model to not extract the correct data. Investigation showed HTML formatting from older version of Microsoft Outlook created nbsp; instead of space. This has been resolved by ensuring nbsp is replaced with spaces before calling JSoup clean.
